AT&T’s HTC HD7S can be had for just $0.01 until October 11

Truth be told, AT&T’s HTC HD7S was never an expensive device. In fact, it launched carrying the pretty reasonable price of $99.99 with a two-year contract. And that was direct from the carrier itself, not from a third party retailer having a special offer or anything like that. Speaking of which, we’ve since seen the HD7S go for as low as $49 at Best Buy at one time, but now AT&T has decided it’s got to make the HD7S into a bargain somehow. Too much stock, perhaps?

Anyway, if you’re interested in a Windows Phone device, and AT&T is your carrier, listen up. You can now buy the HD7S from AT&T for just one cent ($0.01) until October 11 (that’s next Tuesday). You’ll still need to sign a new two-year contract of course, but this is practically a free smartphone if you want it.

The HTC HD7S has a 4.3-inch 800×480 touchscreen, a 1 GHz processor, 576 MB of RAM, 16 GB of built-in storage, a 5 MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash and 720p HD video recording, alongside all the connectivity options one should expect from a smartphone in 2011. The HD7S should be updated to Windows Phone 7.5 Mango soon.
